(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

Śrī Gopa-kumāra offers praṇāma to Śrī Nārada with these words:

गूढा वैष्णव-सिद्धान्त-मणि-मञ्जुषिका हठात्
स्फुटम्-उद्घाटिता येन तं प्रपन्नो’स्मि नारदम्

gūḍhā vaiṣṇava-siddhānta-maṇi-mañjuṣikā haṭhāt
sphuṭam-udghāṭitā yena taṃ prapanno’smi nāradam

I take shelter of Śrī Nārada who has forced open the treasure chest of very confidential Vaiṣṇava conclusions and revealed the jewels of Vaiṣṇava siddhānta.

Śrī Gopa-kumāra says to the Mathurā brāhmaṇa, “On hearing Śrī Nārada’s words, I was overwhelmed with eagerness to have darśana of the lotus feet of my worshipable Deity, Śrī Madana-gopāla. In fact, he had described Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s topmost qualities just to increase my eagerness.”
